How to Find the Best Subreddits for your Topic using this AI

Have you ever wondered where people talk about certain topics on reddit, say climate change or simply a historical event? using the regular search unfortunately sometimes does not really help, especially if the name of the community (subreddit), which can be huge, has a name that is far from your keyword, thought it covers the same topic.

I often have this problem in my everyday research: reddit search might find a few groups, but it misses a lot and shows me a lot of irrelevant ones as well.

For example, I search for which subreddits focus on consumer feedback for eco-friendly brands.

If I type "eco-friendly" into the reddit search, I get a few related suggestions, but also a lot of unrelated ones.

The Solution: Search using natural language

With this new bot on Poe, you can now search for communities using natural language. It not only shows you the matching communities, it also sorts them and gives you a hint as to why they might be relevant to your search.

What is Poe?
Poe.com is an AI chatbot aggregator platform that provides access to multiple AI chatbots in a single hub Launched in December 2022 by Quora, Poe (Platform for Open Exploration) allows users to interact with various AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, as well as create their own custom chatbots.

Running the same search on Poe now produces much narrower results than on reddit.

You can try it for yourself here with a free POE account.

And here are a few more examples.

Please note that the bot will only search for the given topic or term, but will provide general AI conversation like ChatGPT, you basically just give it the topic and it will do the rest without any further instructions.

Example #2 : What subreddits talk about test anxiety support

Example #3 : Find subreddits for beginner painters who like watercolours

By blending intuitive natural language processing with Reddit’s diverse community landscape, this chatbot offers a seamless experience for businesses and private users alike. Whether you’re conducting market research or simply exploring a new hobby, the perfect subreddit is now just one query away.
